  • It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
    This quiet company
    This quiet company

    It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
    This quiet company
    This quiet company
    This quiet company

    And I can't fall asleep
    Without a little help
    It takes a while to settle down
    My shivered bones
    Until the panic's out

    It takes an ocean not to break
    It takes an ocean not to break
    It takes an ocean not to break
    It takes an ocean not to break
    Company
    This quiet company
    This quiet company

    But I won't follow you
    Into the rabbit hole
    I said I would but then I saw
    Your shivered bones
    They didn't want me to

    It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
    It's a terrible love and I'm walking in
    It takes an ocean not to break
    It takes an ocean not to break
    It takes an ocean not to break Writer/s: Aaron Brooking Dessner, Matthew Donald Berninger
